Report: Dolphins not interested in Plaxico Burress

One thing that seemed to create a little bit of a stir today was a nugget dropped by the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson that claims Plaxico Burress had told people that he would love to join the Dolphins if/when his legal problems are taken care of.

This instantly created a debate among Dolphin fans - should they sign him?  But let's put this behind us now.  The Miami Herald is reporting that the Dolphins aren't likely going to have any interest in Burress.  In fact, one team source responded to a phone call about the possibility of the Dolphins having interest in Plaxico by saying, "Is this the reason you're calling me?"

Clearly, the Dolphins don't feel they have a need for a soon-to-be 32 year old receiver with a very long rap sheet.  He could face a couple of years in prison for the gun charges.  In March, Plaxico was written four tickets for various reasons.  And he's had domestic violence issues.

On the field, Plaxico has been injury prone as of late and is only getting older.  His production prior to his leg "injury" last year was down - only totaling 35 catches in 10 games in 2008 and averaging just 45 receiving yards per game.  And we don't even know if Plax - even if he avoids jailtime - will be able to play the first few games of 2009.  After all, Burress might be able to escape the long arms of the law, but he can't avoid the NFL's sheriff, commissioner Roger Goodell.  A lengthy suspension for Plaxico is probably likely.

When you put all that together, it's hard to understand why we even wondered about Miami's interest in Burress.

Yeah if we are gonna take a chance..make it a cheap Matt Jones.

if we DID pickup a wr…..id cut Wilford the same minute. I think if we can get Jones cheap it would offset paying Wilford.

Plax is done….he probally will go to jail.

Jones wasn't that good

if they are going to do something trade for guys that can play, Boldin or Ochocinco. Not saying they should pick up ocho, but at least he’s not going to be suspended or go to jail. And Jones really has not shown he can play at a high level.

no trade involved with jones or plax

that’s kind of the point. Free agents we can sign cheap.

Jones

was great last year

Good.

Thank God!!! His play is diminishing, he is ALWAYS hurt in some way, he NEVER practices, he’s a prima donna and now he shoots himself in the leg.

Need I say more?

This should go without saying

Who really thinks it would be a good idea?

Why add problems, they are building a team. You don’t even know if he can play at all or for how long because of his legal situation.

Nothing to see here...

Eh, not surprised. As much as I liked Plax, he doesn’t fit what the Dolphins are trying to do, and after shooting himself, he might not be the same player.

Really........

You took a rumor from Barry Jackass or any rumor from the Herald as something to follow up on.

As far as Plexico is concerned, no thank you. Same for Matt Jones. I’m happy with the receiver set we have as of now.

I forgot he was that old

I remember watching him his rookie season, does anyone recall the time he caught the ball, fell down, and got up and spiked a live ball, LOL LOL LOL talk about your rookie mistakes.

couldn't find video

Eventually, the Steelers had no choice but to bench Burress, and he played only sparingly. If that weren’t bad enough, in November came one of the more embarrassing moments for him. Against Jacksonville, in the fourth quarter, he made a catch, and thinking he was down by contact, got up and spiked the ball.

The problem was that the play was still alive, and the Jaguars recovered the football. After that play, which was replayed on sports-highlight shows across the country, teammates jokingly called Burress ‘’Spike Lee’’ and Jay Leno mocked Burress on the ’’Tonight’’ show.
http://www.nytimes.com/

GOAT OF THE WEEK: Pittsburgh WR Plaxico Burress whose idiotic spike in the fourth quarter — before he was tackled — handed the ball to Jacksonville. No, it didn’t cost the Steelers the game. But it could have. “I’ll never spike it again, unless I’m in the end zone,” Burress promised. Gee, how thoughtful of you.
